As we waltz past the mirrored walls in dance

I glance into the mirror and see, perchance

A couple that looks exactly like you and me

Dancing in the mirror in perfect harmony

Slow dance with me in the mirrored place

So I can look over your shoulder and see my face

Reflecting my smile as I try to keep pace

And still my heart which starts to racе.

Ukrainian dance 

Ukrainian dance refers to the traditional folk dances of the peoples of Ukraine.

Today, Ukrainian dance is primarily represented by what ethnographers and  folklorists . Dance historians refer to it as "Ukrainian Folk-Stage Dances ”   which are stylized representations of traditional dances.  Their characteristic movements have been choreographed for concert dance performances. This stylized art form has so influenced the culture of Ukraine, that very few purely traditional forms of Ukrainian dance remain today. Ukrainian Dance is often described as energetic, fast-paced, and entertaining, and along with traditional Easter eggs (pysanky), it is a characteristic example of Ukrainian culture .Ukrainian folk dance has  also  influenced  modern  Ukrainian dances and we can observe a good example of this influence.

Country/western dance

Country/western dance, also called Country and Western dance, comprises many dance forms or styles, which are typically danced to country-western music. They are  stylistically associated with American country and/or western traditions. Many of these dances were "tried and true" dance steps that had been "put aside" for many years, and became popular under the name(s) "country-western", "cowboy", or "country". Western couple dancing is a form of social dance. Many different dances are done to country-western music.

Pupil

Modern dance

Born in the early 20th century, modern dance is a dance style that centers on a dancer's own interpretations instead of structured steps, as in traditional ballet dancing. During the 1900's, European dancers began rebelling against the strict  rules of classical ballet. These dancers tended to a more relaxed, free style of dancing. Modern dance pioneers often danced in bare feet and revealing costumes. 

 Modern dance encourages dancers to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines. They invent new steps  instead of following a structured code of technique, as in ballet.

Another characteristic of modern dance in opposition to ballet is the deliberate use of gravity. Whereas classical ballet dancers strive to be light and airy on their feet, modern dancers often use their body weight to enhance movement.
